Super Eagles midfielder Kelechi Nwakali has been signed on a three-year contract by Barnsley.
Nwakali linked up with the English League One club from Portuguese side GD Chaves.
PNO Sports reports that the former Porto player is looking forward to a successful stay at the club.
“I am very happy to sign for Barnsley Football Club. I spoke to Mladen and the head coach Darrell earlier in the summer and I knew that this was an exciting opportunity for me, I know I can bring a lot to the team,” he told the club’s official website.
Sporting Director Mladen Sormaz said, “There is no doubt that Kelechi is a really talented player who can offer Darrell something different.
“We knew that the player wanted to return to England and that gave us an opportunity to bring him to Oakwell and we believe his experience playing in some of Europe’s top leagues will benefit us over the coming years.
“He has had a shortened pre-season and we’ll ease him into first team action over the coming weeks. “
